Halsa Resistance Poles

According to a new study published in the journal Lancet, lack of exercise causes as many as one in 10 premature deaths around the world each year — roughly as many as smoking.

Getting active does not mean you need to spend hours on boring gym equipment; a cardiovascular and weight-training workout now can be combined in a simple stroll around your neighborhood. The Halsa Resistance Poles make walking a full-body workout, providing up to 13 pounds of upper body resistance with each step.

To use the Halsa Resistance Poles, you simply push down on the cushion grips with each stride. The further you push the poles, the greater the resistance and the better the workout you will get. The height of each pole can be customized and adjusted to fit your body perfectly, with the top of the pole hitting your body at underarm level.

Halsa Resistance Poles can be used on any surface in a variety of weather conditions. The poles come with several feet that you can change out depending on the type of training you are doing. Included with the poles are a rubber foot for normal road and track use, a metal stud for trail and winter walking, as well as a circular basket for loose surfaces like snow and sand.

Halsa Resistance Poles retail for $129.95 and can be purchased at www.halsafit.com.
